what is small parenchymal opacity ? and irregular parenchymal density left anterior lung base?
Question:
Answers:
The parenchyma are the functional cells of a tissue or organ.
A small parenchymal lung opacity is a small area that is cloudy, opaque. It's also referred to as a "ground glass" opacity. Some diseases that have ground glass opacities as the predominant lesion are three varieties of pneumonia and Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis.
The irregular parenchymal density that is located at the anterior (front) base of the lung suggests lung disease. The area of consolidation is irregular in shape.
Not having more information to go on, I'm afraid I can't be more specific than this. I have two questions for you: If this is a finding on your own CT, why are not addressing these questions to your doctor? And this is a finding for someone other than yourself, then why are you not addressing this question to a more appropriate source?
